A schoolteacher has been arrested on the charges of raping two girl students in Jajpur district.
Mohan Bhuyan, a teacher of the Karada Nodal Primary School under the Panikoili police limits, is accused of repeatedly raping two Class-VI students on the pretext of teaching them in school premises after school hours.
As per reports, Bhuyan had been forcing the two girls for physical relationship with him after school hours when all other students left the premises. He was threatening the victims to face dire consequences if they dared to reveal the matter to anyone.
But the matter came to the fore on Friday after one of the victims told her mother that she would not pursue study anymore. When asked about the reason, she narrated the stories of sexual assaults by the teacher.
Based on two complaints, separate cases have been registered at the Panikoili police station and the accused teacher was arrested on Saturday.
